Let’s Watch: 10-on-10: The Chronicles of Evolution—Eörs Szathmáry

This post is sup­posed to be a pre­quel to my post on the ma­jor tran­si­tions in the evolu­tion of life on earth. Eörs Sza­th­máry is a good lec­turer and the lec­ture gives a very clean overview of the ori­gin of self-repli­ca­tion, evolv­abil­ity, and the re­la­tion of evolu­tion with learn­ing the­ory. I am read­ing about this, be­cause I think AI might cause an­other ma­jor tran­si­tion in evolu­tion in a similar way.

This post will give an­no­ta­tions, refer­ences, and com­ments, to read along the lec­ture.
